Modelling simply supported beam with teddy

hey

Currently, I’m struggling as I don’t know how I can model a simply supported beam with teddy.
I can do it by using sofimsha but not by sofimshc?

Could you help me what I’m doing wrong? Also what is in fact the difference between sofimsha and sofimshc?

You aren’t instructing sofimshc to mesh:
Add ctrl opt mesh val 1 at the begining of sofimshc

The primary distinction between working with modules SOFIMSHC and SOFIMSHA lies in their operational characteristics. In the SOFIMSHC module, you work primarily with structural elements, creating a ‘wireframe’ for your structure before necessitating its meshing into individual finite elements. This is why the CTRL MESH 1 command was mandatory.

In contrast, when modeling within the SOFIMSHA module, you can specify finite elements directly one-by-one.
